How to Exctract the Purchased Files

All the files we offer have been compressed in a .zip format for easier download.

To be able to use the files, you will have to use an archiver software to extract them.

To extract the files, copy the .zip product in the folder of your choosing, and right click your mouse on it.

The option Extract All will extract them in a folder of your choosing, inheriting the name of the .zip

Once it’s extracted, you can begin to use the files.

Why are the prices so low?

At Sama Sama Studio we are 100% Blender supporters. We love Blender, and we want to spread the word!

The price we set on our products is the fee for the .OBJ file only. We give you the Blender file for free–with all the materials and lights–so you can give it a try and fall in love too!

Go on and try it, it’s a free software! You can get the latest version right now from www.blender.org/

Why to use Blender?

Because Blender is the Best!

Why we believe in Blender:

It is a free software, but it is highly market competitive. You can do with Blender the same things that you can do with expensive renowned software solutions.

It is in constant evolution. There are new releases every few months with incredible features every time!

It has a friendly interface and it is very easy to use.

It is also very easy to learn. There are thousands of tutorials and learning resources for Blender, most of them free!

It promotes beautiful ideals. Free software can be lucrative without over-charging fees. It is more accessible, and it creates equal opportunities for everyone.

Structure of the Blender Files

All the objects, lights, materials and textures have been tagged with the letters SMS (for Sama Sama Studio). This will help you keep track of the original product files.

The textures and materials have been given a “fake user” datablock (F) to prevent them from being accidentally deleted from the file in case you want to try custom materials.

All the products come with an Infinity Background, that will always be set on the layer number 16(on the second column, the first of the bottom row)

The Camera and extra lights (if any) will also be set on the layer 16.

The main product will always be set on the layer number 1(on the first column, the first of the top row)

In products with more than one model; the models will be distributed along the layers 1 to 10 (all the layers of the top rows)

For models that are rigged; the rig will always be in the layer below the model’s layer. For example, if a character model is in layer 1, it’s rig will be right below it in layer 11, and so on.

Helpers and other similar objects will always be set in layers from 17 to 20.

For more information on specific products, please check the Documentation section.

What is SMS?

We have named all our models, materials and textures with the tag SMS.

This tag stands for Sama Sama Studio (in short SMS).

By doing this, you will easily find our products in your computer’s browser. Files with the SMS tag will ensure our quality standard.

ABOUT THE 3D MODELS

How to store the purchased files to avoid conflict

After unzipping the .zip file, you will see all the files included in the product.

The Blender file has all the paths set to relative to avoid conflicts of missing textures. For that reason, we recommend you always keep the textures and the Blender file together in the same folder.

If the textures are separated into a different folder, you will have to load them back into Blender by hand.

The Blender file is ready to render. If you have kept the original file structure as it was in the .zip, when clicking Render Image your rendered image will appear in the top right window of the Document.

How to Change the Background Color on the rendered images

The Blender Files usually include two Background choices:

The default choice is a white background that receives shadows from the 3D model. You can change the color to any color of your choice, by clicking on the color swatch and selecting a new color.

The alternative choice is to apply a gradient based on the scene’s light to the background, making the resulting environment more realistic. To get this second choice, simply click on the yellow output of the Gradient Texture, and plug it on the color input as seen in the image.

How to Change the Camera Settings

You can move the Camera to the position of your choosing by following these simple steps:

Click on the Camera’s frame border.

In the bar to the right, find the View section and click Lock Camera to View.

Press your mouse’s wheel (or the middle button) and without releasing move the mouse around. You will see how the camera rotates around the model.

To zoom in or out, roll the mouse wheel.

To pan the Camera, press the mouse’s wheel (or the middle button) while you press the Shift key.

When you are done editing, remember to disable the Lock Camera to View checker.

For further control of the Camera’s settings, you can again select the Camera Frame Border [1] and go to the Camera tab [3]

In this tab you can change things like the Focal length of the Camera, the sensor or the Depth Field.

How to Change the Image Output

You can increase the size of the rendered image in the Render Tab.

How to Save Rendered Images

After rendering your image, you will see it appear in the Top Right Window.

To save it, click in the Image menu at the bottom of the window, and then choose Save as Image.

A new window will open. Here you can:

Specify the name of the Image File.

Choose the destination folder where you want to save it.

Change the file output, the compression and the color mode.

After changing the option settings, click Save as Image and it will be saved.

Reset rotations in the Models

Some models will be rotated and arranged in the Blender world for artistic purposes.

The models have, however, all their transformations set to a (0,0,0) location, zero scale and zero rotations.

To restore the model to its zeroed position, simply select it and type in the keyboard:

Cntr+R – Clears all rotations

Cntrl+G – Restores location to (0,0,0)

Cntrl+S – Restores scale to original size

Examples of rotated models that can be reset to a zeroed pose:
